Abstract

The present invention relates to a display system for a theft-preventing apparatus mounted on a vehicle, and an object of the present invention is to provide a display system in which a display device can be commonly used for two kinds of theft-preventing apparatuses. A security ECU (20) outputs a continuous lighting signal when set to a waiting state, and stops outputting the signal in a cautioning state. An immobilizer ECU (22) outputs a blinking signal to a light-emitting device (50) only when the cautioning state is set. Accordingly, the light-emitting device (50) is turned off when both the security apparatus and the immobilizer apparatus are set to a resting state. Additionally, the light-emitting device (50) is continuously lighted when the security apparatus is in the waiting state. Further, the light-emitting device (50) is being blinked when the security apparatus is not set to the waiting state and the immobilizer apparatus is set to the cautioning state.
